of a moving train.

On the evening of Oct. 3 the new building
was dedicated" with imposing ceremonies,
including music and some very witty speeches.
On the platform Of the large assembly room
sat Mr.. Vanderbilt hanked on one side by
the ever ready and versatile Chauncey NJ.
Depew and oil the other by Bishop Potter.
Official representatives of the Young Mems
Christian association, of the railroad COM
panies, palace ear companies and other organ
izations were present After prayer by
Bishop Potter and song by the quartet Of
st. Thomas choir, with G. w. Warren at the
piano, Mr.. Vanderbilt briefly stated the OBJ
ject of the building; other addresses and
music followed, and then Mr. Depew deliv-
cred the "oraton of the evening" Fifty
years ago, he said, there were only $50 miles
of railroad and 1000 employees; now there are
1870 900 miles of railroad and 700,O employees,
with more than 81, 900 000,0 600 capital invested
in the business 1t is the creation of very re-
cent days, and the spirit that dictated this
building is one that the wsest ancient nations
never knew-the spirit of Christianity.
The style of the building is Romanesque;
the material sandstone, topped with vari-
colored bricks and touches in dark red terra
Gotta The roof is finished in Akron fluted
tiles, glazed dark brown The vestibule is
beautifully tiled; the stairs are chiefly in oak
the hooks separated by graceful lattice work,
and the fireplaces handsomely paneed. The
reading room is eighteen by twenty-five feet
finished in polished cherry, and the main hal
furnished with cane chairs for 400 persons
The basement is so finished in white enameled
brick and tiles as to give most delightful
sense of neatness, and around it are the bath
ing rooms, which have the very finest finish
of any rooms in the building. Even ths
faucets are of polished silver; all the bowl
and slabs are OF Italian marble, and the huge
tubs of solid porcelain cost $3.50 each
Such are a few of the delights of the grea
social place presented to the railroad men by

JOYS as well, said an eX-Confederate sol
der, land | can recall many amusing in
cidents in the midst of privations and
anXieties. After l was taken prisoner
by the Federals in Tennessee l was sent
with a large number of others similarly
unfortunate on the train to Nashville.
They put about sixty of us in one coach
and locked the doors on the outside.
There was no danger of our attempting
to escape. as we could not open the doors,
and if we could we would have had to
jump from train running at the rate of
thirty miles an hour, but they placed
two guards in there with us. They sat
by the door with their backs to it.
SIN few minutes one of the guards
said to the other: Give me chew of
tobacco. The man handed il TO him, and
the one who received it passed back five
cents, with the remark: That makes
five have gotten from you here is your
money He was paying for his chews at
the rate of cent piece. 1t aroused our
indignation to see men paying each other
for chews Of tobacco, and we began to
ridicule them. They We're afraid to say
anything, for they knew we could take
their guns away from them and beat
them to death, and there We're boys
among lis who would have done it if
given provocation. The Yankees had
two big knapsacks of food, and. as we
were hungry, we determined to have
their provisions. The knapsacks hung on
the wall near them. Darkness came on
before we reached Nashville, and as the
coach was but slightly illuminated we
managed to steal the knapsacks without
detection and divide the food among US.
We then hung the knapsacks back.
Shortly afterward the fellows began to
get hungry and turned to their KNAPP
sacks. You should have heard them
curse when they found that they were
empty. We openly avowed the stealing,
and said we had done it because they
were mean enough to sell chews of to-
bacco. They growled, but they were
afraid to do anything "-Courier-Journal.

great building at the corner of Madison
avenue and Forty-f fifth street, New York. for
the use of railroad men. 1t is indeed a mag
nificent building. handsomely finished, well,
even luxuriously, furnished, and fitted for
club room, restaurant, social hall and reading
room. According to the statement of Mr..
Vanderbilt:
1T will be under the control of board of
trustees, in which the several railroad com
panies centering at the Grand Central station
will be represented. The trustees have
granted permission to the railroad branch of
the Young Mems Christian association of the
city of New York to use the building for the
benefit and enjoyment of persons in the SER
vice of the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad, the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, the Wagner Palace
car, the express, and of any and all compa-
MES that may be entitled from time to time
to use the Grand Central station. The under
standing is that such rules shall be adopted
for its control as shall be in harmony with
the purposes for which it has been founded
and for the maintenance of that order and
conduct which will assure to those coming
within its walls the largest participation in
its privileges. Its practical management will
be in the bands Of committees composed Of
railroad employees. While it is desirable that
as many as possible shall become members,
wish it to be distinctly understood that all
the employees, whether members or not, will
be heartily welcomed here at all times"
On the first floor is the great library with
5000 volumes, and around it the bath rooms,
social rooms and meeting rooms Almost the
entire third floor is given up to recreation
rooms, all handsomely fitted up with chairs,
lounges, tables, books and papers, and cheer
full with light and warmth. On the fourth

over night in the city. In the reading room
are the regular issues of ninety-five daily,
weekly and monthly papers; in the social
hall are checkers, chess, dominoes, piano
and other appliances for enjoyment, while
elsewhere are the gymnasium, bowling alley
and restaurant where the best of meals are
served in first class style at moderate cost.

there will be lectures and concerts, addresse.
by eminent speakers and practical scientists
there will also be classes in drawing, penman

stated, includes the practice of musical in

Within the past forty years numerous at

after intervals Of years, reports come of one
being heard in some part of the country.
Abroad they flourish from the south of Eng

do not die, but that the country is so big that
they scatter over it as soon as landed, and
are swallowed up in its immensely, as it were

The influence of the newspapers of the
day In shaping and controlling public
opinion is shown in no more direct man
ner than in the piles of clippings from
them which are to be found in railroad
offices in this city. Most of the offices
assign to some clerk the duty of reading
the daily papers and making newspaper
clippings on all subjects of special inter-
est to the company, posting these, duly
dated and authenticated, in a scrap book
and slowing them away for reference.
In this manner the newspaper becomes to
many railroad officials the chronicle of
events, the repository of information,
which may prove valuable at any mo-
ment and which must be kept for con-
venient reference.-NewY York Tribune.
